Wrong End of the Telescope

Lyrics

VERSE 1 - Ollie OX I'm just tryna prove that my childhood wasn't a glitch Cuz now if I can't Google it, it doesn't exist Sailing in circles through minuscule little pools Won't be the first captain that has sunk with the ship of fools Keeping an eye on all the introverted jealous folk Looking at the world through the wrong end of the telescope Why so serious? Just lighten up, tell a joke Or get over the fact that I am indelible My next plan's to flee the scene & go analog But I'm stuck, cuz that part of my brain can't evolve One's & zero's falling out the crack in my skull cap Nothing to catch me besides dirt when I fall back Dead phone, can't call it like I see it On a workaholic plan, got free nights and weekends The rest of the time, my line's disconnected Struggling torn paths & trying to find an exit HOOK: Clap your hands to the malady Implant the chip, hit the switch, cap your salary Download the app, it's called Actual Reality Looking at the world through the wrong end of the telescope Stuck to my cell phone, tryna get the hell home Elections paid off, corporations this is well-known Man vs. machine, sipping lean outta styrofoam Looking at the world through the wrong end of the telescope VERSE 2: They say it's best to stay indoors And take it back to Orwell, 1984 With an OX by the first name of Oliver Stuck to my cell phone like pasta in a colander Good amount of gwalla, small amount of followers Break down your blueprint to every last polymer Chemistry set and a Remington revolver Revolution televised, Facebook scholars I only plug in when I need it Got a Super NES, 27-inch Zenith These days I don't need porn to set the scene I just go to Instagram, hashtag #PregnantTeen I been stuck in the Matrix Since Steve Jobs was jobless, and Apple iiE's ran BASIC The Oregon Trail to the Benjamin Franklins The banks are bankrupting so I hope you stacked some paper (REPEAT HOOK) VERSE 3 - Ciphurphace Scandals & cash ploys, channeled through tabloids Neglected kids, Mom's drinking, the boy rattles his damn toys Perverted verdict, life's shattered when you hear the gavel and man's voice My generation & your generation is comparing Apples & Androids The world's burning, we're all in Hell's Kitchen like Matt Murdock Stuck in this failed system, I'm the rap sure-shot Just give me shots of Whiskey & pots of Kimchi And take me back to the era of Pac & Biggie Or the days when I first heard Cannibal OX get busy Aesop Rock get gritty Oh you wanna be an emcee? Well that job is risky The day we lost a Prince from the sky, falling Purple Rain Everything in the journal is flames Salute Colonel James Swinging on a Soundcloud, catch me in the sky soon Bumrush your Bandcamp, Illmatic on iTunes Popping on Pandora, spazzing on Spotify Get gully on Google Play, you'll get digitally sodomized (Pause) (REPEAT HOOK)
